Quantum particles can move between two locations through a process called tunneling. However, what ...

Physicists in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford have used a hybrid quantum computer, made up of qubits ...

Many of nature's most important processes depend on how particles of matter interact with light and other force-carrying ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

The universe may be trapped in its own comfort zone, and a researcher in the College of Engineering and Computer Science has ...

Physicists have many delightful theories about how our universe might end, including one that suggests it isn’t in its most stable state. If it transitions to that state, we could all be squelched ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — and built on ideas from a physics great. Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions ...

In hushed voices in a darkened room, John and James Kountz stared intently at what looked to any unsuspecting person like a ...

For a while researchers thought they’d have to make do with noisy, error-prone systems, at least in the near term. That’s starting to change. In the past 20 years, hundreds of companies, including ...
